Listen Again v3.0

Changes:- Better resizing. The previous versions were always a bit large, so you can now shrink down to much smaller sizes and the text will adjust size automatically. Also once the widget is shrunk past a certain size the programme descriptions are automatically hidden.

- Added a 'now playing' icon.

- Added a time code for playing programmes.

- Removed rear side of the widget as there were only two options on there: Show Descriptions, and Volume. The volume control seemed virtually useless considering there are easy machine volume controls on Macs.

Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger is required. If you're using Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, Show Dashboard, click the Plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget's icon in the Widget Bar to open it. If you're using a browser other than Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, unarchive it and place it in /Library/Widgets/ in your home folder. Show Dashboard, click the Plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget's icon in the Widget Bar to open it.

Troubleshooting: If you cannot play radio streams, and also cannot play streams directly from the BBC web site in Safari then RealPlayer is probbaly not installed or configured properly.

This widget doesn't appear to pick up every programme that can be listened to again. I went looking for "Wonderful Way of Making a Living". This was on the BBC's website under Listen Again, but did not appear on the widget.

Hi the widget is great, but I haven't been able to get a single World Service programme to play. If I change to, say, Radio 1, everything plays fine, but with World Service although the symbol comes up next to the name of the programme when you click it, nothing happens. It's been like this for at least a week now.

Looks like a cracking widget, well done. for some reason Im not getting any sound - the wee 'broadcasting' icon appears but no timer and no sound. I usually listen on the BBC website using Safari and Real player. Any suggestions? Many thanks
